ABC Cancel Roseanne Show After Racist Tweet

[Najnaj]

No she made a homophobic joke about her.

I remember because I thought it was funny as fuck, but then again I'm not part of the team that thinks people should be fired for being offensive.

She wasn't fired, she was never employed in the first place.

Barr made a racist comment and advertisers started to complain. The show was cancelled.

Money talks.

Where were all these racists when Obama was President? I don't remember the mass attempts on his life. Maybe people aren't as racist as the media and the left makes them out to be

LMAO @ this logic.......apparently you can't be a racist unless you try to kill someone.

[Wyrt]

Where were all these racists when Obama was President? I don't remember the mass attempts on his life. Maybe people aren't as racist as the media and the left makes them out to be.....well outside of the minority race-baiters trying to make a buck like Sharpton and the likes.

I'll take what is Birtherism for 100, Alex.

[Orbitus]

1. First one is way too vague. May I ask where you got this from?

2. Comments were not on Latin American immigrants.

3. There was no ban and they are actually pretty crappy. No sugarcoating. Not sure what this part was for? Was it that he cursed?

4. Failure in Puerto Rico? I guess Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon disagrees

5. Very fine people: This was not directed to the white supremacists. Within that group of people of charlottesville there are definitely innocent people who were not part of that group that actually promotes hate and Trump did not defend the white supremacists

6. Birtherism horseshit: I touched on this on my previous comment. This was not hate filled or racist

7. Latino Judge comment: Also touched on this being a very stupid comment that can't be defended but still does not make one a genuine racist.

1. The first one was about the Central Park 5, he wanted them to get the death penalty even though they were exonerated on DNA evidence in 2002, he said they were still guilty on the campaign trail, 15 years after they were set free.

2. You are saying his bullshit on his announcement to run for president wasn't racist? That most of the people coming across the border are rapists, killers, and drug dealers and "some" are good people. Even though 95% of them are good people trying to get away from violence and the rapists and murderers?

3. Just because he attempted the bans and were struck down, doesn't mean there was no ban. You really like ignoring everything don't you?

4. Yes, Puerto Rico has been a MASSIVE fucking failure, and that fat bitch of a Republican representative from PR is just as bad. Do you know how many people have died there from the Hurricane? 64 died from the hurricane itself, but another 4000 people have died because of no drinking water, no electricity and no food.

5. He said there was "Very fine people, ON BOTH SIDES", there are no "very fine people" on the white supremacist side. Especially since that side committed a terrorist attack that killed 1 and injuring 19 more.

6. The "Birtherism" horseshit started from Obama being black and having a Muslim sounding name. There has been no other president, basically ever, that had to release both their short and long form birth certificates. Even though we have had other people that have ran for president that were literally born in other countries. Ted Cruz, born in Canada. John McCain, born in Panama.

7. If the comments about the Latino Judge wasn't racist, why did Paul Ryan say it was literally fucking "Textbook Racism" in an interview?

[Darkeon]

a) Those on the right happy about @CNN firing Kathy Griffin but upset at @abc firing Roseanne

AND

b) Those on the left happy about ABC firing #Roseanne but upset at @NFL banning players from kneeling

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

Basically sums this up.

[Orbitus]

And.... back to not watching anything from ABC....

If you were watching it in the first place, that was your first problem. The show was fucking awful.

This comment is simply sad. I hope for your sake that you're not being serious, if so you seem like the type of person that has a high risk of being indoctrinated into a cult at some point in your life.

He is absolutely being serious.

- - - Updated - - -

Only when its the left doing it is it allowed, like when Jimmy Kimmel made fun of Melania Trump's accent. He never got fired or cancelled, and his was done on his show, not a tweet that nobody wouldve seen if the media didnt blow it up out of proportions. ABC has been looking for an excuse to cancel it since it first aired and now they got it

You know, everyone keeps saying this, but you apparently don't understand that she was going to get a 2nd fucking season until this happened. If they were looking for anything to cancel it, they could have found anything else other than this.

Oh what a shock, Hollywood casts those aside that don't tow the party line. The next step is for her to be #metoo'd

So, we should celebrate racists and give them a platform? Fuck that.

[Dontrike]

Oh what a shock, Hollywood casts those aside that don't tow the party line. The next step is for her to be #metoo'd

What company or industry supports those that don't tow the party line? Which industry welcomes someone literally going against them?

[Linkedblade]

What the actual fuck is this logic? Oh Reich Wing logic.

Lets do some math.

Country was established in 1776. You say non-land owners gain the right to vote in 1857. The rest of the country did not secure, notice I said secure because they were still being driven from the polls, until the 1950s/60s. The 200 years of wealthy white men controlling the government, 100 years of all white men, 200 years of minorities not having a say. 200 years only 50 years since that time. And your response is:




Come on man, you can do better than that.

Yeah except only wealthy land owners had power from the fall of Rome to the American great Awakening ffs

Basically sums this up.

Actually you can. This was never a question of legality but morality.

ABC firing Rosanne for being racist (being racist is morally bad) is morally good.

NFL banning players from protesting racism (protesting racism is morally good) is morally bad.

I repeat. Both actions are legal. One action is morally good, one action is morally bad.

The party line being not referring to black people as apes?

[Linkedblade]

What ever happened to having a backbone and not being such easily offended?

[Th3Scourge]

So you think rapists and racists are ok? Says a lot about you.

Well that's not a loaded question... MeToo undermines the presumption of innocence, and whether they are innocent or not reputation damage is instant.

Hollywood is full of shit anyway, you get actresses like Natalie Portman defending Roman Polanski against his rape, yet being a supporter of metoo (or timesup, whatever new buzzword the idiots feel like spreading). She was screeching that there aren't enough female directors and its not good enough, yet she has her own production company, Handsomecharlie Films, and has only used one female director (herself) out of the 6-7 films produced.



As for what Rosanne said, is it racist? maybe a little, and I don't really care for the fat whale, but it's no more than the video that's already been posted about making fun of Melania Trump's accent. Neither of them are inciting hatred and calling for violence (which is generally the tone used by most comedians)

[Machismo]

What ever happened to having a backbone and not being such easily offended?

What ever happened to the freedom to not work with people whom you find reprehensible?

It would appear that the people who are offended... are guys like you whining that a racist bitch got fired for being a racist bitch. Maybe you should try to not get offended so easily... just a thought.

[Low Hanging Fruit]

If I tweeted that and my office saw it I could get fired too. People just need to learn social media is a very public thing with things that can damage you perfessionally. Deal with It.

[Elba]

She was screeching

Where was she screeching? Sounded normal to me. Why is it that you guys always say when a woman is saying something you disagree with that she is screeching? Nice misogynistic language, mate.

Saying hateful racist shit is funny?

Saying hateful racist shit in the form of a joke all depends on context.


she said it was a joke, a very poor joke if you ask me but not any less poor then the 20-30 jokes or so each morning i hear on sirius 99 while listening to raw dog comedy from about 50 comics.

Now the question is it really a poor joke or is she really a racist.

[PACOX]

Now the question is it really a poor joke or is she really a racist.

Those arent exclusive. You can definitely be both.

Nah, it's just a joke is an excuse people use when called out. She is racist as fuck. Look at her twitter feed of the past 5 years (although it had been cleaned up for the show)

You have the right to work and say what you want. You don't have the right to be offended, well you do, but it's not legally protected in the US.

Dont act like the comment chain wasnt about the US.
